The NSW Ombudsman is undertaking a project that will examine how young people use the internet and new media and how these particular forms of communication can be used to develop relationships that exploit or harm young people. We will be considering how online communication is used to groom young people for sexual offences and to encourage violent or other harmful behaviour including self-harm and cyber-bullying. We’ll also be looking at current internet and community based programs that aim to protect young people online and developing ideas for new programs. We’re interested in hearing about any programs you’re involved in that address these issues and any ideas you have for improvements in this area. Please contact Sally Haydon, Project Officer on (02) 9265 0451 or at shaydon@ombo.nsw.gov.au if you’d like to share any information.
